1. Cartier Mechanical Legends Crash Skeleton
It would only be right to begin this list with a piece from a brand best known for crafting imaginative and unparalleled watch designs: Cartier. The Cartier Mechanical Legends Crash Skeleton is a very striking timepiece. It looks quite intimidating at first, but is indeed a rare gem when it comes to performance and composition. First unveiled in the 1960s, it comes in a 28.15mm 18K rose gold case with a beautiful brushed finish, paired with a grey alligator leather strap to finish off its elegant but bold look. The idea for this watch’s odd shape emerged when a client brought in his distorted Cartier Baignoire model, which was damaged from a car accident, for repair. Under the hood, the Cartier Mechanical Legends Crash Skeleton with a studded crown relies on a hand-wound mechanism called the Caliber 9818 MC. Solidly built to fit the unusual, asymmetric case shape, the movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Priced at around $83,300 USD, this Cartier watch may have been controversial when it was first released, but its relevance and timelessness remains celebrated to this day.

13. De Bethune Maestri’Art DW5 Armilia
Next up, we have another artistic watch that truly redefines the world of horology. Right off the bat, the De Bethune Maestri’Art DW5 Armilia looks like it came right out of a science fiction film.
First released in 2019, this special edition watch draws inspiration from artist/cartoonist Francois Schuiten work, Obscure Cities. This is why the watch’s 58mm pink gold case has a graphic representation of the fictional underground city, Armilia, in a hand-drawn and hand-engraved format. To achieve a realistic and pristine look, De Bethune scouted a few talented Swiss engravers to work on the illustrations. They also added a lovely black alligator leather band to add to its elegant aesthetics. Since the piece is still technically considered a Dream Watch, it is only natural that it boasts an odd, spaceship-like build. On the top of the case, you will see a small sapphire window that displays the jumping hours and analog minutes. Carrying a price tag of $207,365 USD, this is truly a unique hand-wound timekeeper like no other.

15. Nixon Dork Too Men All Gold
If you think that timekeepers that come with a writing instrument or a musical ability are crazy inventions, wait until you see this next piece from American brand Nixon. The Nixon Dork Too Men’s watch utilizes a small-sized digital display and a speaker to dictate time. In other words, it is a watch that speaks! How awesome is that?
This men’s watch is made out of molded stainless steel, with a matching gold-colored bracelet that completes its classy look. Unlike the aforementioned watches, this one is a bit smaller, with a case size of 34mm. However, it has chunky sides that add a rather vintage feel to the watch. Occupying the majority of the case is the speaker cover, while the bottom part is reserved for the red digital LCD display. This Nixon watch has time and date-telling capabilities, an alarm, and an EL backlight. It also comes with a micro-USB charging port that you can use to recharge the watch’s battery. The only downside of this Nixon Dork Too timepiece is that it is only splash-resistant, so you cannot directly submerge it underwater. This piece retails at around $150 USD and only speaks English for now. But who knows? Considering how much of a hit this unique watch was, Nixon might just add some more languages in the future.
16. Bulova Computron Ref. 97C110

Every feature of this watch can be controlled by pushing the single button on the side. You can buy this iconic Bulova watch for only $295 USD.
